They sending this out on Thanksgiving to try to cover that shit up. That's how you know it's super bad

Gotta love all these schmaltzy commercials about human connection from social media companies run by emotionless, robotic idiots. Hell, they're probably AI commercials by now. Classy

Being thankful today is especially difficult. But I'm making an effort to be happy for what I do have, and holding it close, cause we live in insane times.

It’s been a good year for deckbuilders - but what about DICEbuilders? 🎲 Build your dice and purify the ever-encroaching corruption in Astrea: Six-Sided Oracles, which you can now get on Oncade! 🤯

Randomly saw a Prime movie called Playdate, with Kevin James and Alan Ritchson. Far more entertaining than it had any right to be, a fun buddy comedy with some big surprises. I'd recommend it, especially if you're a fan of Reacher

Welp, still can't figure out how to upload images from Switch 2 to Bluesky, and as a result have barely played Pokemon ZA since getting it. Boo...

'The Witcher 3' director Konrad Tomaszkiewicz says he doesn't think that games created with only AI 'will have a soul' 🎮

He adds that 'Dispatch' is his game of the year and AI couldn't possibly make something like that

"Owned a home in the U.S. for 30 years": I try not to look down on others, but the people who swallowed the bait that he'd only deport 'bad hombres' and 'criminals' have a gullibility so intense that it warrants study by science, if only this country still did that.
ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

Just got back from seeing Wicked For Good. Though I think the first movie slightly edged it out, still an incredible movie with great music. Lots of neat echoes and one early song that almost had me ugly crying. Long live the Wicked Witch!

Got a haircut finally, a day before I see Wicked For Good with a close friend tomorrow. Thought I looked halfway presentable, so here you go, internet.

Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy — in this case, that vaccines save lives — and bend the health department to his will.

AOC to @pabloreports.bsky.social : A swastika is one of the clearest symbols of hatred in all of humanity… to remove that designation… indicates a possible collaboration with those very elements, which I think is genuinely frightening to any American.

Okay I started Morsels finally. So far I like the overall vibe and style, but I'm perplexed by all the giant items you have to lug around, rendering you temporarily incapable of attacking. For those who've played it, does this ever improve?

Something about selfies, cute or otherwise, I assume.
